TLS signed “Wm. H. Taft,” three pages, 8.5 x 11, The Law Department of the University of Cincinnati letterhead, May 5, 1898. Letter to Josiah B. Allen, in part: “In accordance with your request I send you by the Adams Express a package containing the certificates of the students in our Law School who desire to apply for examination upon the 7th. of June and a list of whom is given below…The certificates which I send you vary somewhat. Some of them are for study during three school years, others for study during two school years and others for study during one school year. Of course, those who have studied only one or two years in the school have either filled additional certificates which accompany my certificate or they have already filled them in your office. Some of them are included in certificates, which I sent to you in March, of the time when the students began the study of law.” The aforementioned student list concludes the letter, with Taft adding a brief postscript regarding an additional certificate. Taft makes a few handwritten emendations and notations in ink, adding x’s or check marks to the left of each student’s name. Pencil notations accomplished in another hand. In very good to fine condition, with intersecting folds and light creasing. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
